In 2000, Witkoff acquired the largest single portfolio of cast-iron buildings in downtown Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood. The seller had assembled this portfolio of 10 mixed-use residential and commercial properties over approximately 50 years in connection with their family business. All but one of the buildings (676 Broadway) are within the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District, which is designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and has been declared a National Historic Landmark. Following acquisition, Witkoff legalized and renovated the buildings and leased up all residential, commercial, and retail spaces.
